Rob holds them all except for his 450 Bench Press. <br>The University of Missouri experienced 13 consecutive losing seasons. Then they hired veteran Coach Larry Smith who is one of only four college coaches who have taken four different teams to a bowl. The Tigers won in 1997 and 1998. They have won 17 out of the last 22 regular season games and last year finished 21st in the AP final rankings. <br> The difference in attitude had been like night and day from when I first got here, Rob recalled.  We have now found out how to win. We go into every game expecting to win. <br>I saw a sign in the weight room which revealed the expectations of Coach Summer and Coach Smith, who is now in his sixth year. It is about excuses.  Excureaking and teamwork. Athletes can set PR s everyday! The athletes want to continue lifting. It is no longer just hard work, it is FUN!<br> --Howard Thomascognize their success.  We would like to evolve into model programs such as the ones at Poplar Bluff Junior and Senior High Schools, says Coach Vena. <br>Closer to home, Rising Starr Middle School and Starr s Mill High School provide excellent examples of model programs. The Starr s Mill program was in place and running before they had a school facility. Starr s Mill head football coach, Mike Earwood ordered weight training equipment and had it delivered to Whitewater where he operated his summer strength and conditioning program. The desire to improve athletes remains a high priority at Starr s Mill. The coaches, athletes, and parents moved all the strength and conditioning equipment six times before housing a permanent location for their program. This desire to attain strength, power, speed and agility is what Coach Vena seeks to instill in his athletes.<br>Whitewater s facility transformed from classrooms to bare walls to the achievement of a dream through hard work and determination. Whitewater Middle School has demonstrated that with the proper amount of effort and perseverance, Upper Limit success can be accomplished.<br><br><br>__________<br><br><br> Students who consistently participate in the weight training program have made physical improvements. Students need the opportunity to workout in the weight room on a regular basis.  Coach Ve not willing to work that hard, dedicate that much or commit to tat extent. So the mere mortals marvel at what winners accomplish. <br>Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down. Ordinary people do ordinary things. Championships are won by those who are willing to do the extra things to become extraordinary. Like Kramer says, BFS athletes have the edge because they have practiced doing things the right way day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. We have a saying at our school: At Estacada High School, the Home of the Rangers, Winning isn t everything; it s just part of what we do! <br>While other athletes are looking for the shortcut or the easy way out, while they are off doing who knows what, screwing around, cutting corners, BFS athletes are disciplining themselves to lift and run and jump their way to prepare themselves for the challenges ahead. So that when faced with the pressure and tension associated with game nigh, a big game, or having to come from behind to win, they can rise to the occasion and deliver their be
